2.75 inch / 7cm embroidery scissors

"These scissors are THE absolute BEST scissors for hardanger in the world. They are made by Premax out of Italy and they are absolutely perfect." S. R.

I recommend these scissors as ideal scissors for cutwork embroidery such as Hardanger, Portuguese whitework, drawn thread work, merezhka and Schwalm embroidery. They have fine sharp blades which makes them ideal for slipping between fabric threads and making a neat, careful cut. You can read more about my criteria for the ideal scissors for these sorts of embroidery in a post on my blog, White Threads.

In more recent times I have also used these scissors with needle-turn hand appliqué. They are perfect for snipping into seam allowances and cutting off extra bulk in small spaces, where you need tiny but sharp scissors.

These sharp embroidery scissors have have a blade point angle of approximately 10 degrees, measure a smidgen more than 2mm width across both blades 8mm up the length of the blade, and have pointy blade points.

The scissors are very petite. If you have petite hands, then these are the perfect scissors for you. However, if you do not have petite hands, then these embroidery scissors are not likely to fit your fingers. The finger holes measure 19 x 14mm (0.75 x 0.5in) at the widest points internally. If this is too small for your fingers, then I recommend my other option: the stork embroidery scissors.

The Premax 2.75 inch embroidery scissors are guaranteed for life, by the manufacturer, against any failure arising from defective material or workmanship.
